Weather Update: Hell Frozen Solid

Postby Weemaryanne » Tue Feb 09, 2010 1:23 am

Whaddaya know, miracles CAN happen. Like someone saying something sensible on Faux News, with the cameras on yet:

Being brave in the battlefield has nothing to do with how you go to the bathroom or how you have sex. … If you volunteer to serve this great country, we should welcome you, not push you away because of some arcane attitude about sex.

You mean a military analyst agrees with the military's top brass? How shocking!

From the article:
Ollie North derided repeal [of Don't Ask, Don't Tell] as a harmful “social experiment.”


Er, have I missed something? Why would anyone pay any attention at all to something Ollie North says?

Excellent question, but sadly, many people do.
Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.
